Don't Call Me Special by Pat Thomas

Don't Call Me Special by Pat Thomas

This book looks at disability mainly from the perspective of the disabled child, their families and helpers. However, it will also be relevant to able-bodied children, giving them a platform to better understand and learn to support the disabled children around them. While the overall tone is positive, the book acknowledges that it can be very frustrating to be disabled in a world built for the able-bodied. It looks at the full range of emotions which a disabled child may feel, as well as the sometimes complex feelings of people around them. This is a sensitive book, beautifully illustrated by Lesley Harker.

This picture book introduces key concepts and ideas about disability in an accessible and imaginative way.. Issues such as preconceptions, forms of disability, types of school, learning disabilities and attitudes towards disability are explored using a gentle but effective style. -- Booktrusted 20021001
